Disclaimer: We do not own Instant Star, trust me if we did then season four would have ended way different and at least for me there would be a lot more seasons. We also do not own the song used in this chapter which is Beautiful Girls by Sean Kingston.

Once upon a time, there was a punk princess who rocked a musical kingdom.

"Miss Harrison?" Tommy said with a smile on his face while he walked into the studio where Jude was sitting in a chair with Stephanie on her lap.

"Mr. Quincy," she said with the same smile on her face. She set down Steph and walked towards Tommy.

And she kinda dug its blue-eyed prince.

He pulled her into a bear hug. They both looked around to make sure no one was looking. When they were sure that the coast was clear, they leaned in for a short kiss.

They pulled apart after Steph started saying "Ewwy!" to their kissing, and it was good that they did, because a minute later, Darius Mills knocked on the window.

And then the emperor of hip-hop invaded. And took the one thing she most wanted.

"Darius? What is he doing here?" She looked at Tommy, who looked like he was hiding something. "Tommy?"

"His nephew's coming tomorrow. Shay."

"Shay?"

"Yeah."

"As in S to the H to the A to the Y? THE Shay? I'm gonna be sharing a studio with him?" Tommy looked at her for a minute, debating whether to tell her slowly to ease her into it or just get it over with.

"Well... that's not all you're gonna be sharing. Shay doesn't really share anything. Not a studio… or a producer." After he said this, he walked as fast as he could to the door, but clearly his fastest wasn't fast enough, because Jude grabbed onto his arm.

"Wait, what? You're producing him? Tommy, you're mine!"

"It's just one song. You'll be fine. Just work on a few of your songs, and I'll be back to help you in no time.

The princess wanted back what was rightfully hers: the palace, the pro-tools, and especially her prince.

"But Tommy, I need you," Jude whined. She picked up Steph and held her up in front of him. They both gave him a sad puppy dog face. "We both do." He looked at them pitifully before laughing.

"And you both know that there's nowhere I'd rather be. I'll still be around, promise." And with that, he kissed them both on the forehead and walked out of the studio to talk to Darius.

But this wasn't fantasy. This was reality, and the princess realized that it bites.

Jude was sitting on the staircase of Gmajor with Steph watching everything that was going on. Furniture, clothing, and studio equipment were being moved all throughout the building. And why was Gmajor doing all of this? All because the big S to the H to the A to the Y was coming.

"It's like an entourage minefield in here," Jude said to Georgia who was standing on the staircase watching over everything to make sure it was all going smoothly.

"Hey, Shay's famous. Everything has to be perfect. EJ, how are we doing on hospitality?"

"So far in the hospitality department we've got 2 pounds of Jube Jubes, 40 boxes of cereal, and 6 quarts of vanilla soymilk."

"I can't believe you guys are catering to the whims of some boy diva," Jude said rolling her eyes.

"That diva equals big bucks, while you're an expense," said EJ in a not-so-happy voice before walking up the stairs.

"Ouch. She burned me. Right Steph?" Jude asked her daughter while tickling her.

"Jude, first lesson in politics. Here are Shay's two CDs. Listen to them and try to find something nice to say, ok?"

"Yeah, I'll get right on that. Hey Steph, can you say Shay?"

"Thay."

"Now say ewww Shay!!"

Stephanie said "Ewww Thay!!" before bursting out in a fit of giggles. This made Jude and surprisingly Georgia start laughing.

"Speak of the devil," Jude said quietly as Shay entered the building, causing a huge commotion.

"Tom, remember my nephew Shay?" Darius asked Tommy.

"I remember a kid in braces named Shay Shay," Tommy said laughing. "Shay this is Kwest, my right hand man." Kwest was saying something to Shay when Jude heard enough.

"Come on Steph. Let's go hide in a studio and listen to the big bad Shay." They got up from where they were seated on the stairs and started walking toward Studio C, but they were interrupted by Shay.

"You my new back up girl?"

"Uh, no. I sing lead on my own records."

"That's a shame. You're definitely cute enough to be a Shay girl." Jude raised her eyebrows and he looked at Stephanie. "Her too, but she's a little young," he said with a laugh.

"The big Shay has a thing for two year olds. I'll be sure to tell the tabloids."

"Jude," Tommy interrupted from across the room. "Don't you have an album to finish? Studio C calls."

"Yeah, I'm going." As soon as she started walking, Steph grabbed onto her leg and wouldn't let go. Looking around embarrassedly, she pried Steph's fingers off of her leg and carried her into Studio C.

Jude Harrison now understood why no one ever wanted to use Studio C. It was the size of a closet, and it practically was a closet. There was a large amount of speakers, soundboards, chords, and blank CDs scattered everywhere. She pretty much had to dig to find a CD player.

Jude was sitting down in Studio C with Stephanie seated across her. They were listening to Shay's second CD.

"So Steph, what do you think?" Steph gave it a thumbs down and stuck her tongue out. Jude laughed at her daughter's antics and wondered how she could possibly have picked it up at such an early age.

"I couldn't have said it better myself baby girl. So what do you think of this?" she asked as she picked up her guitar. She sang, "Waste my time, waste my time. Not so sure that I'll be yours, and baby you could be mine." Stephanie clapped her hands in response. Jude just laughed and said, "Thanks Steph."

At that moment, loud music started playing and it could be clearly heard from the studio Jude was in, especially the bass.

"Would it of killed them to soundproof this closet?" Jude asked no one angrily before she suddenly got an idea. "Hey Steph, Mommy has an idea."

Jude set her guitar down then pushed the amp against the wall, she then plugged her guitar in and started playing the song she had just played to Stephanie.

"That better being Jimmy Page in there." Shay said.

"It's Jude." Tommy said with a smile at Jude's spunk. "I can tell her to stop." he finished

"No I'll handle it, kwest turn that beat up." While Jude and Shay's battle progressed Tommy thought about the two girls in the other studio. He would much rather be in there with them instead of where he currently was with Darius breathing down his neck. But he knew that GMAJOR was having finical trouble and that they needed the extra cash that shay recording there brought.

"It's like a Shay/Jude mash up." Kwest said breaking Tommy out of his thoughts.

"And it kills." Tommy said nodding his head. But the mash up was cut short by Darius killing the feed.

"Mash ups don't sell million records." Darius said.

Jude stopped playing and listened wondering what happened.

"Where'd the music go?" Steph asked from her seat

"I don't know baby." SHe told her daughter with a confused look in her eyes but a smug smile on her lips.

Meanwhile back in studio A Tommy was in a fight with Darius, which was familiar territory for him.

"You got to be open to new sounds D! Breakout! Experiment! "

"Just like the Tommy I used to know, always willing to waste my money."

"What do you know two minutes together and we're already arguing." Tommy said putting his headphones on trying to ignore the sudden feeling of failure he got from being with D and counting the minutes till he could see Jude and Stephanie again.

After Jude and Shay's little battle, Jude and Steph were still in Studio C. Jude was working on the same song from earlier and Steph was coloring when there was a knock on the door.

"Come in." The door opened and Shay was in it holding three bowls of cereal. He walked in and set one down in front of both of them before grabbing a chair and sitting down in it.

"I thought you'd be hungry after our little throw down."

"Ah, so that's why we had to buy you so much soy milk," said Jude with a smile. Shay lifted up the notebook Jude was writing in and saw the cases of his two CDs underneath it. Jude's smile faded.

"Checking out the competition?" he asked with a smirk.

"Maybe." Steph was reaching for her bowl but couldn't reach. Jude leaned over to help her, but Shay did before she could. "I'm supposed to listen to them and find something nice to say about you."

"So…?" he asked while stroking Steph's hair gently.

"Well I now know that you're nice to young children. So that's a plus." Shay laughed then looked at her seriously.

"You know, my second album sold over a million copies."

"I know. Everyone's heard S to the H to the A to the Y. But your first album's way better. It shreds," she said before she could even realize that she said something shredded.

"The first album's my joint."

"So what happened?" she asked with actual interest.

"My uncle stepped up and took over. He won't let me freestyle, or do my own stuff at all."

"And you let him?"

"Hey, when a guy like Darius is into you, you listen and learn."

"More like learn to sell your soul. But whatever floats your boat."

"Hey, I do it for the millions of fans and fine mommy's," he said with a smirk. "But you know, I always have room for one more girl."

"Right, I'll stick Steph in line then," she said with a smirk causing Shay to laugh.

"You're funny. Most girls are too shy to even talk to me."

"Well then, lucky for them." Shay laughed at her but then at Steph. She was done with her cereal, so she picked up the bowl and tried drinking the remaining milk, but ended up spilling it all over her shirt. Jude got up from her seat and tried to clean off the milk with a paper towel, but gave up. "I guess we're off to the bathroom. She's getting picked up soon and I don't want to stick her with someone smelling like spoiled milk."

Shay just laughed and got up from his seat.

"I guess I'll be going now too. I'll see you shorties later," he said before poking Steph in the nose and leaving.

A few minutes after his conversation with Jude, Shay was in the kitchen drinking a pop and waiting for T-bone to get out of the bathroom so they could leave when someone caught his eye. Walking through the front door was pretty much a carbon copy of Barbie. She had a nicely tanned complexion with beach blond hair to go with it and she wore a very tight hot pink off the shoulder top with a black frilly miniskirt. She looked pissed about something and Shay wanted to change that, so he walked up to her.

"You my new back-up girl?" he asked, using his classic line. Sadie looked up annoyed and then stopped in her tracks.

"You're Shay," she said freaking out. Shay just smiled but she couldn't get over it. "THE Shay. Oh my gosh."

"Wow," she said in a small voice, practically whispering.

"Right in front of you girl. So you my new back up?"

"Me? Uh no, I doubt it. I'm not exactly the best singer in my family," she said with disgust in her voice. "I'm just here to pick something up."

"Well is it anything I can help you with?"

"Unless you can find me a two-year-old, then I don't think so. I'm stuck babysitting and I'm running a little late."

"Well a minute ago there was a two-year-old that spilled cereal all over herself so her mom took her into the bathroom. You could check there." Sadie just sighed.

"Yeah, that's her. I guess I'd better find them then." Right as she turned to go, Shay called her back.

"Hey girl, I never got your name." She turned around with a smirk on her face, but didn't let him see it.

"Sadie. Sadie Harrison." She held out her hand for him. He looked at it for a minute and instead of shaking it like he knew he was supposed to, he help it up to his face and kissed it.

"Shay Mills. So Sadie, what are your plans for tonight?"

"I'm stuck babysitting while my little sister is out having fun. Sounds like a blast, right?"

"Oh, well that's too bad. If there's any way you can get out of it, you should come to my show tonight." He took a pen out of his pocket. "Give me your hand." She looked taken aback at first, but then held out her hand to him and he wrote some address on it. "That's where my show is. Hopefully I'll see you there," he said before walking away with a smile.

Sadie couldn't move. THE Shay had pretty much just asked her out. Screw Jude and Tommy and whatever they had going on. There was no way she was babysitting tonight.

A little bit later that day, Sadie was watching a movie with Steph while Jude was getting dressed to go out. She spent most of the day trying to think of a good enough excuse to get out of babysitting so she could go to Shay's show, but she wasn't having all that great of luck. That changed when Jude stormed into the room in a panic.

"Sadie, I need help and fast. The black tie up boots or black pumps?" she asked holding a pair of black patent leather pumps in her right hand and wearing a pair of black boots that tied up to her knees. Sadie looked at both carefully before answering.

"Stick with the boots. They look better with your outfit anyways," she said looking at Jude. "Um I'm not gonna lie sis, you look good." And she really thought she did. She was wearing a black tank top with pink writing and a black leather jacket over it, a blue jean mini skirt with a thick black belt, and the black tie up boots. Her red hair was done it big curls and she was wearing this weird looking gray beret type hat, but she pulled it off. "Where exactly are you off to anyways?"

"Uh well Shay is at Gmajor now for some reason, and he has a show tonight," said Jude while tying her boots. Sadie almost fell off the couch.

"Shay? As in S to the H to the A to the Y?"

"Yeah," said Jude with practically no emotion. Sadie was flabbergasted.

"Can I come?" she asked innocently in a small voice. Jude just looked at her.

"Sades, you said you would watch Steph tonight."

"I know, but come on. I'll make sure she has someone to watch her. Just," she stopped and gave Jude an innocent look. "Come on. I have both of Shay's CDS and you know how much I love rap." Jude just looked at her before sighing.

"Yeah, I do. Listen, I have an extra ticket, but I was gonna give it to Jamie-"

"And Jamie hates rap. Therefore it would be a huge waste." Jude opened her mouth to say something, but Sadie interrupted her before she could. "Besides, I'm sure Jamie would rather baby-sit Steph than go to some rap concert. Come on Jude. Please?" Jude thought about it for a minute and then sighed.

"Fine. Go and get dressed before I change my mind." Sadie squealed and ran halfway up the stairs before stopping and turning around. She ran by Jude and grabbed her black pumps.

"You don't mind if I borrow these, do you?"

About an hour later, two Harrison sisters walked into the concert hall very well dressed. The older one took in her surroundings happily while the younger just rolled her eyes while looking very uncomfortable.

"Just what I need. Another Snoop Dogg video," said Jude with irritation in her voice.

"Whatever Jude. This is amazing and we're going to have fun," said Sadie, causing her younger sister to just roll her eyes. "Right?"

"Right. You took the words right out of my mouth." Jude surveyed the room before looking back at Sadie. "So what do you wanna do first?"

Sadie looked around the room before setting her eyes on Shay. She smirked. "Hey, Shay's not too far. You wanna go talk to him?"

"Uh, no. Not at all. Why would I?" Before Sadie could respond, applause broke out while someone announced "Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for Shay!"

"We'll get to the hits, but I've got something for ya'll. I met someone today, and she's not what I thought. I actually haven't been able to get her out of my head all day." The audience cheered extra loud for that and Shay laughed. "I don't know if she knows who she is, but this is for her."

"You're way too beautiful girl

That's why it'll never work

You'll have me suicidal, suicidal

When you say it's over

Damn all these beautiful girls

They only wanna do your dirt

They'll have you suicidal, suicidal

When they say it's over

See it started at the park

Used to chill at the dark

Oh when you took my heart

That's when we fell apart

Coz we both thought

That love lasts forever (lasts forever)

They say we're too young

To get ourselves sprung

Oh we didn't care

We made it very clear

And they also said

That we couldn't last together (last together)

See it's very define, girl

One of a kind

But you mush up my mind

You walk to get declined

Oh Lord...My baby is driving me crazy"

Sadie turned to Jude with the biggest smile she has had in years. Oh my god Jude! He so cute!" Sadie squealed as she grabbed a hold of Jude's arm.

"Yeah adorable." Jude said as she clapped along with the other fans but was looking for Tommy. She had called him when Sadie went upstairs to get ready that afternoon and agreed to meet up with him after the show so they could go get a bite to eat.

"I love you!" EJ said coming out of nowhere. "It's like publicity jackpot." she said lopping her arms with both of the sisters. "Hooking up with Shay is genius." She gushed at both of them but smiling at Jude.

"EJ I didn't hook up with Shay. Hell I was never alone with him. He had cereal with me and Steph, that's it." Jude said as she was drug backstage after the show.

"Well he was looking right at you. The only person even close to you was Sadie." EJ said turning to the older Harrison.

"So he kinda invited me this afternoon. And so I kinda talked to him." Sadie said with the smile still intact.

"Well whatever, both of you get over and talk to him. Remember we want to keep him at G-Major." EJ said pushing the two teens towards Shay.

"So what did you shorties think?" Shay asked taking his sun glasses off.

"I liked the older stuff better, but you know that. Great show, thanks for the invite." Jude said.

"Not a problem, too bad the youngest fan couldn't come." He said smiling at Jude.

"Yeah well she had other plans that include driving my friend Jamie crazy." Jude said laughing with him. "Anyway since I'm actually in the same place as my producer I'm gonna go talk to him for a few minutes." Jude said then walked over to Tommy.

Sadie watched as Tommy pull Jude into a tight hug and kiss her forehead, before sliding his hand into hers and kept her close to his side.

"So what did you think of the song?" Shay asked bringing her attention back to him.

"Yeah I loved it. It was great." She said smiling at him.

"Good cause I wrote it for you." He said grabbing her hand. Sadie blushed and bit her bottom look as she looked to the ground. "Have you had dinner yet?" he asked.

"No, Jude and I had to leave pretty fast to get here on time." Sadie said meeting his eyes again.

"Hey Sades, Tommy and I are gonna run and get a bite to eat while we go over my song. He said he'll run me home." Jude said leading Tommy over to Shay and Sadie.

"Then sure. I'd love to go get something to eat." Sadie said smiling at Shay. "Meet you at home." she said hugging Jude.

The younger teen and Tommy both stood shocked at Sadie's action and watching the two older teens walk towards the back of the club.

Sadie walked into her house a few hours later. "Have fun?" a voice called to her from the couch.

"Jesus Jude, don't scare me like that!" Sadie exclaimed as she flipped out as she turned on the lamp.

"Well did you?" Jude asked as Sadie sat down next to her.

"Yeah I did. I had a blast. He's so great and nothing like the press makes him out to be." Sadie said as her smile grew bigger.

"Good, I'm glad you had a good time. You deserve it after everything with Steph and me wining Instant Star, you deserve something good." Jude said standing up. "Night Sades." Jude said as she started up the stairs.

"Hey Jude," Sadie called out as she turned to face her sister. "Thanks for letting me go with you. That was the most fun I've had in a long time." she finished smiling at her baby sister for the first time in two years. "Get a good night's sleep, you have a chem test tomorrow."

"Oh my god Mir, he is so good live. It was like I couldn't breath." Sadie gushed to her best friend the next day.

"Well what about Jude and Tommy? I thought you thought something was going on with them?" The blonde asked.

"I don't know about them. Right now I don't even care. Shay Mills took me out to dinner last night." Sadie said as she leaned against the locker to her left.

"What in the world is going on?" Miriam asked as loud noise was made down the hall. Both of the cheerleaders turned and saw Shay walking towards them with a smile on his face and a bundle of flowers in his hands.

"Sadie come with me." he said wrapping an arm around her shoulders. "I'll be just a minute." he told Miriam leading Sadie into a class room.

"Do you like movies?" Shay asked as Sadie sat on the desk.

"Love them, why?" she asked.

"What to go see one with me tonight?" he asked.

"I would love to," she trailed off.

"But…?" he asked.

"But I owe Jude a free baby-sitting cause of last night. Tommy called this morning to see if she could come into tonight to work on her song, since you won't need the studio." She said shrugging her shoulders.

"That's when I thought I would have plans. If you're gonna be busy then I'm gonna need the recording studio." Shay said with the same manner.

"Let me see if I can get my mom to cover it. Only if I can, I'll call you." Sadie said taking her phone out and handing it to him.

"Okay. Hope to talk to you soon." Shay said giving her phone back to her and kissing her hand.

"Jude!" Sadie called out to her younger sister as she sped walked though the halls.

"Um yeah?" Jude asked turning away from her friends Speederman, Wally, and Kyle.

"I know I told you I would baby-sit tonight but Shay just asked me out. Please ask mom or Kat." The older sister begged throwing her arms around Jude.

"You really like him eh?" Jude asked.

"Way more then I ever liked Jason." Sadie whispered in the red heads ear.

"Okay. I'll call dad at lunch. Jamie and Kat are working on her science project and mom has a dinner meeting." Jude said as Sadie released her. "Have fun tonight." Jude said as the bell rang.

"Come on dude, music calls." Speed said.

"I will. Thanks Jude." Sadie said taking off in the other direction.

That night after Jude recorded "Waste My Time" she sat at the soundboard with Tommy.

"So Sadie's baby-sitting for you tonight?" he asked pulling her feet off the soundboard and into his lap.

"Actually my dad is. She's out on a date with Shay." Jude said rolling her eyes.

"What you don't like him?" he asked.

"It's not that. Today Sadie said she liked him more then she ever liked Jason and that scares the hell out of me." Jude said with a small frown.

"Sadie's a big girl. She can take care of herself. Besides if she's out with him then she can't just show up here anytime she wants." Tommy said pulling her chair closer to him with her legs.

"Whatever you say Quincy." Jude smiles before leaning into kiss him.

"Wanna here the song?" he asked a few minutes after they pulled apart.

"Sure." she said resting her head on his shoulder.

"What do you think?" he asked when the song was done.

"It's missing something. It just doesn't sound right." She said leaning up. "Let me try something." she said before messing with the soundboard.

The next day Tommy and Jude were sitting in the lobby of G-Major with Steph on the floor in front of them when Shay and Sadie walked in. "I'll be right back." Jude said getting up.

Sadie said goodbye to Shay and went to play with her niece. "I have a question for you." Jude said as she stopped in front of Shay.

"Sure, what's up?" He asked.

"Remember our little battle from a few days ago?" she asked while twirling her hair as a nervous habit.

"Yeah." he pressed on.

"Wanna help me on a song without a wall between us?" she asked smiling at him.
